With both science and whimsy, the chat places spectators in the front-row seat of the Big Bang. Keating will note that in 2014, astronomers using a powerful telescope at the South Pole thought they'd glimpsed at evidence of the cosmic inflation dictating the beginning of time. Did the Nobel Prize allude these researchers? Keating will discuss the ins and outs surrounding the quest for the world's most treasured prize.
Keating is the author of 100 scientific publications and two U.S. patents.
